Vet with CJ

[Patrolman]

I saw this CJ on CL for sale. Based on the description, a wounded vet is driving it, and it apparently needs some help. He is looking to sell/trade, but thought I might post it here if someone was interested in reaching out to him to help him get it back on the road instead. A carb adjust for altitude may be all it needs. Just a thought. Sounds like it needs a tuneup and the top/heater addressed. I would consider pitching in some cash to help with a top/doors if it is legit.

If it is legit - I would consider helping financially to help a vet. I don't know enough about mechanics to be helpful to him and would not be interested in buying the Jeep, so I am not willing to call him. If one if you touch base with him, let us know if we can help.

Ditto. Last thing I personally need is a Jeep. I have a cold right now, so I can't spend any time tinkering, but these are usually simple things. I imagine the lack of doors and a real top is the biggest issue.

Here are doors for $100:

helluva time to do a x country trip with no top or doors....just sayin

Can't disagree with that. Wasn't trying to make any judgement about someones intelligence.

Wasn't trying to make any judgement about someones intelligence.I know, It just sounded more to me like he was just trying to get home to Tulsa more than anything and needs Cash

I agree. I think he got tired of driving the old CJ without a top/doors and probably a crappy ride. It may have sounded like a good fun idea before, but at 55mph or so, I bet it gets old quick. The top doors would make a difference, but it will still be slow, loud, and bumpy.
